I read so many more kinds of writing on Substack, it's properly broadened my tastes. Great writers on writing is truly one of its highlights, and this was a prime example.
So good to have you back, Ali. As ever my first response to your writing is one of emotion and resonance. The 2nd and 3rd reading never fails to reveal the reason why this is true. My thanks to you, and here's to crispy leaves which are, I believe, far more preferable to wet ones.
Thanks for this, it really struck a chord today.
I'm pleased. I think, like most writing, it was a note to myself as much as anything.
